    If the first high-end card comes out at $499, then I don't see the 128MB
    9800 Pro dropping too much in price. It's already under $200. Do people
    expect it to drop to $100 or something? That would hurt sales of their
    newly-released cards. It'll probably still be above $150 at Christmas.

    I agree. I really don't think that the 9800Pro is going to come down much
    more before Xmas. I think what you'll see is a lot of rebate sales. So the
    card will be $200 with a $50 rebate. The card is still selling well at the
    $200 price point. There's not a huge market for the $500+ cards. So the
    9800Pro will still be a good seller for awhile longer. JLC
